Big time... those have to be some pretty tall blocks for 6" of lift with stock springs. Shell out the cash and get some new springs...

how can it ride better with stiffer springs? do you think if i put lifted springs in i wouldnt need ladder bars with 465hp and 492 tq?

I would buy 2" lift springs, and then buy a shackle flip. 2" springs will ride better than 6" springs and the 4" shackle flip will eliminate the need to put blocks in. Best lift solution/alternative out there for rear springs/blocks IMO

x2 on the shackle flip. only downside with the ORD shackle flip at least is you may have to modify your bumper brackets. not sure about the other shackle flip brackets out there like diy4x.
